About Folk Federation of NSW

The Folk Federation of NSW has been supporting the growth and development of folk music since 1970. We facilitate statewide development of the folk arts, dance and, in particular folk music of all genres and ethnic diversity.

Through affiliated folk clubs, festivals, folk organisations, interstate bodies and our membership we link both those interested in presenting folk to the widest possible audience and those seeking to experience the folk arts through public performance and participation. Our main revenue is derived from membership.

By joining FolkFedNSW you will be part of a vibrant community helping to support our artists, folk music, dance and the associated folk arts in NSW.

The Sydney Folk Festival is a flagship event of the Folk Federation of NSW.

In addition to our interactive website which all members have access to, FolkFedNSW sends out a bi-monthly e-news letter and the weekly FolkMail reminder of activities and events coming up in the current week. As well as our Events Page we also provide a list of regular folk activities across the state. To find out more click on the FolkMail icon.
